Working

According to your personality, working is a sensible activity. Working also implies your personality can develop all kinds of aspects within himself, and he even gets paid for it! This assumption almost automatically implies that not-working is an insensible or "wrong" situation. Should you find yourself "unexpectedly" in a situation where you do not have work, your personality is likely to attempt to diminish the unpleasantness as a result of this as much as he can, a.o. by creating a daily schedule and motivations that look like those you take up in a working situation. For this you may use appointments, other things that you do, assigning goals and priorities and labeling them sensible. By the way, your personality is likely to do this with your free time as well. Now what is it that you have strengthened in yourself by this?

Let's assume for a moment that you are able to fully accept that your only goal in any situation is to Be. This automatically implies that any goal for "doing" is useless. This does not mean that you will not "do" anything, however, it does mean that there is no personality reason why you do certain things. The only aspect within you that can deal with such a profound lack of structure, is your inner Self. Since your inner Self does not use situations for creating a self image or get anything of real value of it, it is only interested in the intention for which you use it. This means that any situation will serve its purposes, even when you do "nothing".

There is of course an implication when you adopt the worldview of your inner Self, since it automatically means that all the issues your personality assigned to "working", are now no longer solid goals to aim for. Like salary, financial security, self image, career, development of personality characteristics, the idea that working is a "must", etc. And still, it is the most natural state of being that you will ever recover within you. However, this alternative is characterized by your personality as very unwanted and threatening.

Your personality cannot deal with lack of structure, control or reasoning etc., since those are complete opposites of the characteristics he assigned to himself. He strongly applies the same characteristics to "business life", and states this means that he has to play along in order to get accepted there. He also believes that the alternative of nót listening to his ideas, is that you have no job, no income, no social contacts, are not accepted, etc., thus conveniently overlooking the role of your inner Self in your life. Trust your inner Self to take care of you, even in your "working life". Maybe in different ways than your personality would have come up with. So what. Like I myself find myself in much more extreme situations than my husband, since for me it often turns out to work best when things are (temporarily) taken away, so that I can learn that I can do without, whereas my husbands' world is quite stable and remains intact while he learns, which serves him well.
